detachably connect the mouth piece to the.

stem of the pipe. The mouth piece has a chamber 7 in its inner end to receive the outer portion of the cartridge holder. The mouth piece muy'4 be made of any suitable material and may be of any suitable size and shape or design.

llongitudinally movable in the outer portion` Aof the cartridge holder is a tubular sleeve 8, the diameter of which is less than the here et' the cartridge holder, the. said sleeve being provided at its ends With flanges 9 which forni diametrical enlargements thereof. Stop screws 10 are threaded in openings in opposite 'sides of the sleeve and coact with the flanges il of the latter to limit the longitudinal movement of the sleeve and prevent the same from becoming casually detached tron the cartridge holder..

ln connection with my improved pipe, l employ anabsorbent cartridge 11 which is .preferably a tube of suitable length, and diameter to tit inthe chamber formed in the cartridge holder between the sleeve 8 and the stern cat ,the pipe, the seid tube being' preferably' inode or paper, straw' or the like and beingI filled with absorbent material, such, for instance, as absorbent cotton and indicated at 1Q. rlhese cartridges muy be Vreadily `prmluced at small cost and prefer ably one is used Afor each smoke. The nicotin and deleterious juices ere absorbed 'and retained by the cartridge and prevented. from passing t0 the mouth ofthe smoker.

The 'carts of the pipe may be readily disassembled to enable a used cartridge to be discarded and another substituted in its place and te enable the ports to be readily and thoroughly cleansed.

While l have herein shown and described preferred :torni ott my invention, l would have it understood that chenges may" be made in the forno., proportion and construe-- tion of the several *hurts without depertingy troni the spirit et t ie invention end Within the scope oil the apte-nded cluini.
